Kidney Stone

Overview

Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys when substances such as calcium, oxalate, uric acid, or cystine become concentrated in the urine. Stones can remain in the kidney or travel through the ureter to the bladder, causing severe pain and urinary symptoms.

Kidney stones can range in size from a tiny grain of sand to several centimeters. Small stones may pass naturally, while larger stones often require medical treatment.
